- My grandfather once drove me all over town so I could look for my favourite magazines. He was the closest thing I had to a father.
- My grandmother makes the best keropok lekor . I mean, all she did was fry them, really, but it tasted so good. The damn things really do taste better when she fries them up for me.
- The sight of my grandfather laughing his head off that time when my younger brother fell into the lake while trying to feed the ducks.
- My grandmother giving me super-sweetened coffee when I was, what, eight? Nine? I didn't ask for it, by the way.
- My grandfather was the one who taught me to trust that everything happens for a reason, to have faith that everything will work out for the best.
- My grandmother's tendency to panic over everyone else's driving skills. Car rides ...

Only two songs come to mind:
- 'Cause when she sings I hear a symphony/And I'm swallowed in sound as it echoes through me/I'm renewed, oh how I feel like/Though autumn's advancing, we'll stay young, go dancing - Death Cab for Cutie, 'Stay Young, Go Dancing'
- 'Cause I love the way you say good morning/And you take me the way I am - Ingrid Michaelson, 'The Way I Am'

- And if the old guard still offend/They got nothing left on which you depend/So enlist every ounce/Of your bright blood/And off with their heads/Jump from the hook/You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise/See, those unrepenting buzzards want your life/And they got no right/As sure as you have eyes/They got no right - The Shins, 'Sleeping Lessons'
